French President Emmanuel Macron and his allies are trying to cobble together a working coalition after his centrist alliance lost its majority in legislative elections, raising the prospect of a prolonged political impasse. Macron will hold talks Tuesday and Wednesday at the Élysée Palace with representatives from the leading parties.
Macron's Ensemble (Together) coalition emerged as the largest single party in parliamentary elections but fell dozens of seats short of the parliamentary majority it had enjoyed for the last five years.
